Hi guys, I have a problem I just can't seem to figure out. It all started with a retaining clip releasing itself and slamming between the piston and the wall. resulting in this:
Now I just bought another piston and wall and went on my way thinking it was resolved. About 300miles went by and the same problem came up. Missing retaining clip and a piston and wall terribly scratched. So I replaced them again thinking I might have caused the problem during installation. Well today I get everything set back up and ride about ten miles with no problems. I was even easing on it until it happened again, but this time. Retaining clips completely in place and the same problem.
Like I said I don't understand what is going on. The piston is completely scored once again, but the clips completely intact. Now the only thing I can think of is there was something in the crankcase that popped up through the transfer ports, but I thought that I cleaned it out to the best of my ability. It just doesn't make sense for this to happen three times in a row. Anybody know what could possibly cause this? Possibly slightly bent con rod? I am drawing a blank. Almost about to get another complete motor...
